physical value
Noun: - Cost of reproducing physical property minus various allowances (especially depreciation): The monetary amount it would cost to replace a tangible asset with a new one of similar kind and capability, after accounting for factors that reduce its value, such as wear and tear (depreciation), obsolescence, or damage.

The core meaning of "physical value" is strictly tied to the tangible substance and reproducible cost of an asset, explicitly excluding intangible elements.
